Section 40A aligning the axles

Well Known Member
I’ve got .42 degrees toe in on the left axle and .22 degrees toe out on the right axle using the Vans method. I was thinking of putting a .25 degree shim in the left axle which would bring it to .17 degrees toe in. On the right axle I was gonna put a .25 degree shim in which would put the right side at .03 degrees toe in. Vans says toe in is preferred.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Thanks

My experience is that toe out will be a bit squirrelly and require a lot of brake dragging during taxi. About 1 degree of toe in tracks nice.
